WKRP Record Player- Vanity Fair 1982

With no offense to Daddy Warbucks, the Dukes of Hazzard or the Smurfs but the WKRP record player is hands down the best one made in the 1980s.

The “Sing Along” aspect allowed you to actually “Be” Dr. Johnny Fever or Venus Flytrap but likely no kid wanted to be Bucky. 

Also, I want to end this segment with the following, Bailey, always Bailey.

The post WKRP Sing along appeared first on PS.

Vanity Fair made some unique licensed radios and turntables in the 70s. I particularly love the wrist radio (used for things like James Bond and Space: 1999) for Holly Hobby is surreal. However, it is all redeemed by the Fonzie jukebox, which functions as a prop for your Mego figures.

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.
